HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, JUNE, 28 1906 ALBERTA IS COLD CROPS UNCERTAIN A Pendleton man writing of the Al berta oountry to the East Oregoniau, ays: "You will note by the address that we have quit the Alberta country. That place Is very much over rated and ia nothing like what it is repre sented by some of the suckers who went there. 1 think Irom what 1 have seen and from the information 1 (rained that the place is too cold and the seasons too uncertain. "The oountry has been partly , settled by farmers thres times during the past .'(U years, but they did no good and hid to quit. It is a cattle country and nothins moie. Sheep do no good, i fact, vou cannot see a snoop in bun draiia of miles. "Last' winter it Kot down to 52 be' low zero and stockmen had to feed for eight mouths. Whilst we were there tliuv cot some rain, the first for 10 months, and the cold was Intense, "I notice in! Calgary most of the bouses have storm doors and windows and I suesa a storm cellar about the uremises somewhere. "There . is not much of the country being farmed, and people who have lived 30 year in the country never tried to do any farming for the lea son that the seasons art'jtoojunceitain "The C. P. K. and other laud com paqies say Lthat settlements will alter weather conditions. remaps tney will, but they have not done so dur ing 30 years so i would not want to take chances, and land is dearer than it is right f In Umatilla, where crops are a coratainty. It ranges all the way from 18 to &S5 per aore, and that from six to 10 miles from the rail road. I don't know how niuoh they sell at'thatprloe.but that is what they ank. "The talk about cheap laud is all rot : there is none to be gotten and all the land Is rough and new. The brush i has to be out, burned and the breal so broken up. The plowing costs S3. 50 per aore, besides the cost of cutting and burnlug the Brush, and then there is fencing and a huu dred tand one other things to lie done lo the way ol making oonais, uurus. sheds, eto. which makes that laud pretty dear. "The water proposition is very un certain, borne get wells where others have cone 150 feet and have not round water. The oountry might do for some of the Minnesota and uaKota people, but Oregon ians had better stop at home. Kven the land that may be made '.to produce something is very limited, and the crop conditions very iirnflHriniig. "The irrigation project is a fraud. Thev are tiviug to soli people land, and ( the ditch is not dug within rive miles of it. There are not nearly enough ditches even if they did all thoy lsay they are going to, and in many instances farmers have to dig ditches for more than a mile and a halt to get the water onto their land. The land is all out up with gulches and draws which, of oourse, cannot be graded, which will necessitate a lot of laterals and box Humes to got the water on to all parts of the lands, and theie will be a lot of waste land. The roads and ditches aie all taken out of tha farmers' land, the company giving nothing. The piioe for the laud is: Irrigable, fviu; uou-irrigablo, 918; 81 por year for water, one cubic foot for eaoh aore; water supplied be tweou May and October only, and this for the roughost kind ot prairie land nearest polut six to sevou miles from railroad. This is the toughost kind of a hold up country from Ferule on the boun dary till one gots out at Vancouver, li. 0. Tho U. P. 15. charges 4 cents pot mile, and almost nil pianos meals are II ; beds from 1 1 to i'l. "1 have hoard of places where hon est men ure scarcer than hens' teeth and rogues an thieves are thicker than weavils in a barnyard. Well, Alberta is one of those plucos." .More;Sprjlng Done in Wnnlilnglon A. F. Or o well, Spokane county fruit inspector, reports that much more spraying has been done by orchardists in this couu y than ever bofoiu. Some have already tiuisfaed the tecond spray ing for the first brood of codling moth. The codling molh is slower in maturing on account of the cold and rainy weather this spring. It is now time for the orcbardist to band their trees. This should be completed by July 1. About 40 per cent of the fruit can be saved from the moths by banding. As to the crop prospects, Mr. Crow ell says he liuds that the sweet cherries will l e very light, while there will be a fair crop of tour cher ries. There Is eve'iy indication of a medium crop of apples and a fair crap of pears. The cold and rainy weather has injured the strawberry crop, which will be much lightel than usual. Oregon's Forest Fire Losses. Especial attention is being directed to Oregon's forest fire lustes LuuiialJy, beoause of the immensity of destruc tion wrought in the red (ire ureas. Senator Fulton has been conferring wltn toe lorest service olllcials to see if the subject cannot be made a special subject for trained olllcials unci Las frequently referred to the effort of Individuals aud companies owning large forests areas. The tesuit will be an exhaustive inquiry some time in the ftre, to determine the best solu tion of the ditlioulty. Home of the olllcials of the forest servi e believe that the only effective remedy is in inspiiing eveiy Individual riving in the forest un t. '.r traveling tin ougb them tor any puipcie, lo lie utmost vigilance aud caution ;. If every man was impre-tsed with the awful possi bilities of a lighted match dropped into tho brush, aud if the community was taught to watch aud guard tlese resjurces as a priceless treasure, thi u umber of fires uiiiieoubtedly would lesson. Hut in a 'dition, it is felt by other students that additional provis Ion must be made. Com milieus, conn ties and even the stite, should, In the belief of these students, be drilled in Are fighting, whenever a foiest lire starts. This might seem a futile elfort, in view of some of the tremen dous blazes known In the past, but the proposition is backed bfy statements of many epxerieuced foresters, who say that there are many s'ages in even a great tire (when an organized euurl to quench the blaze or restrict prog reus would save millions of dollars. The subject cannot be given extousm attention thlsjear, but in the near fu ture the'senator nopes to see important prevention and suppressive measures being tried.

Snake River Fruit Prospects. A cat oad of fruit boxes was unload ed at the Kolloy ranch yesterday aud D. K. Kolloy, proprietor of one of the Kolloy ranches, is authority for the statement that Snake river peaches will be on the market within a week. "1 found one ripe peach yesterday,' said Mr. Kolloy when seen at his ranch by an Evening Teller represent atlve, "and I am confident we will have a lot of them ready for picking by the end of the week." "Is it not rather early for Snake river peaohesr ho was asked. "I think it is the very earliest in the history of the river orchards," he replied. ''We have a vory'early fruit orop on this portion of the river. We arefoar- lier than any other place except Call loruia," Asked regarding the fruit crop this year, Mr. Kolloy Bald : "We will have a good crop of every thing except poaches and apricots. We have only a fair crop of those, but our crop in other fruits is linn. We will have an abundance of grapes. "It will be ouly a very short time now," continued Mr. Kelloy, "until we are In neod of fruit packers. The fruit packing season will bo early this yoar. While our early crops are ligther than in former years we will need packers and a good many of them very soon. Lewistou Teller. lo Not Kake I'p (irass After Mowing. Some persons advise raking utter ouch mowing. I do not, because the clippings drop down intojthe grassland form a mulch, which I consider of gieat houot.lt. Thoy also help to ferti lize the soil. The lawn that is not mowed.often enough will not look well after yon havo boon over it with the mower,) because there was growth enough partially ta hide the awardup on which it falls. This will wittier and turn brown in a day or two, and greatly detract from the beauty of the lawn, iiltut if you keep your lawu well mowed and that .means going ovei it at least three times a week iu ordina ry soasons tho amount clipped olf at each mowing will be so slight that therojwill not bo euough of it to show Do not sot tho knives so low that thoy shave the soil. This practice will soou spoil a lawn, as it interferes with the crown of the grass plants. It clips away ihe blades of grass which spring from the Biirfnoo, aud destroys all that part of the plant upon which we must depend for color and soft, plush- like eftect. Lt the blades be set high enough to leave at least two Indies of the foliage. Vou cannot induce a lower animal to f at heartily when not feeling well. A sick dog starves himself, and gets well.
